Rosie Romance Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Strawberries

   Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems.

2. 2

   Make Strawberry Sauce

   In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries begin to release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Blend the Sauce

   Once the strawberry mixture is slightly cooled, blend it using an immersion blender or transfer it to a blender until smooth. Set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Wine Reduction

   In another saucepan, pour the red wine and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Allow it to reduce by half, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool.

5. 5

   Whip the Cream

   In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form.

6. 6

   Assemble the Dish

   In serving glasses, layer the strawberry sauce at the bottom, followed by a layer of the wine reduction, and then a dollop of whipped cream on top.

7. 7

   Garnish

   Sprinkle the grated dark chocolate on top of the whipped cream and add a mint leaf for garnish.
